Get out of the attic !
Would RecommendIt worked out just like the videos I watched before my purchase, I was very impressed. The previous hook-up was a wire pulled through a hole, no box nothing but a fire ..hazard . I had to put 1/4" shims under each wayside due to the thin plywood ceiling on my porch to make it flush with ceiling. Well worth the money, otherwise I would've had to crawl out onto the porch ceiling from the attic and it wouldn't have been easy but it would have been ITCHY.
